The pervasiveness of cyberspace in the modern era of digitalization has many benefits, but it also has some significant negatives, one of which is the rise in cyber-victimization. In particular, among the teenage population, the widespread use of the internet has led to an increase in the incidence of cyber-victimization. This study aims to examine the impact of cyber-victimization on participants' mental health as well as the relationship between parental internet usage guidelines and the incidence of cybervictimization. The findings indicate that teenage cyber-victimization is associated with several mental health problems, most prominently anxiety and stress; however, parental internet usage regulations do not seem to have a significant effect on the prevalence of cyber-victimization among teenagers in India.
